Our Purpose

The purpose of the Black Student Union is to promote and sustain an atmosphere that is conducive to the political, cultural, social, spiritual, economic, and educational growth of students of African descent and the University community at-large. Such an atmosphere can be best achieved and sustained through the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge, cultural programming, pro-active leadership, and co-operation within the Black community. In addition to the programs that we put on, we offer funding to organizations across campus to put on programs that may benefit students of African descent. We use our constitution as a guide to ensure that our actions are in good faith and fulfill our duty to improve every aspect of our community. We are rooted in a tradition of activism and community activities that make the BSU experience unique.
